The Gaia Institute is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation. Our work couples
ecological engineering and restoration with the integration of human
communities in natural systems.

While much environmental engineering has the worthy aim of minimizing harm, the
Gaia Institute explores, through research and development, design and
construction, how human activities and waste products can be treated to
increase ecological productivity, biodiversity, environmental quality, and
economic well being.

The purpose of The Gaia Institute is to test through demonstration the means by
which the ecological components of backyards, communities, towns and cities, as
well as watersheds and estuaries, can be enhanced through integrated
wastes-into-resources technologies.

TRUCK/VAN DONATION: The Gaia Institute is in urgent need of a small truck or
van to help facilitate materials for current and future projects. Ideally, a
diesel (which could be converted to bio-diesel) vehicle would be best, but
anything could suffice. If you are interested in receiving a tax-deductible
contribution through donating, please contact us!
